There will no health checks conducted by any authorities during climb registration, so climb at your own risk

It is important that you are well prepared and equipped for the climb to ensure maximum comfort and enjoyment. The average temperature range at Kinabalu Park is 15°C-24°C, along the Timpohon - Summit trail is about 6°C-14°C, and sometimes drop to as low as 2ºC in the wee hours of the morning! As for the weather on the mountain, it can range from sunny to misty to foggy. This is meant to be a good guide to help you in packing for your Mount Kinabalu Climb Trip.

ENGAGING A POTTER FOR YOUR CLIMB

To engage a porter is fully optional. However should you really require a porter to carry your belongings for you, we suggest that you pack a separate waterproof backpack (for easy carrying by the porter) ready with items that you do not need during the climb to Laban Rata. Porters may not trek at the same speed as you. Their job is simply to carry your belongings to the mountain hut. Valuables, water, medication, snacks, and things that you will need during your hike should always be kept with you. You may engage the porter at Kinabalu Park itself during your climb registration and the porter fees will be payable directly to the porter.
